What’s your headphone count at the moment?

LeDechaine · February 14, 2020, 2:36am

Wait no that’s @M0N

Removing the foam from the backs of the HD58X doesn’t actually do anything. It doesn’t really matter if you just like the looks better without the foam.

GinAndTonaks · February 14, 2020, 5:27am

I do it to tell my self i have a Senn HD 6 series, but good eval!

Antpage2 · February 14, 2020, 5:34am

14 lol, i just got the audio technica ath-ad900x. it was 150$

LeDechaine · February 14, 2020, 6:34am

Hmm… that could add soundstage, though?

Hazi59 · February 14, 2020, 3:23pm

I won’t be able to hook it up until after I finish work in 4 hours though.

ValentineLuke · February 14, 2020, 3:43pm

Nice! …

A_COC0NUT · February 14, 2020, 4:22pm

It could. But personally I never got that when I tried it.

M0N · February 14, 2020, 4:24pm

I feel like it just makes them a bit more open, and that’s about it. Like you can feel more moving air on your ear if next to a fan lol, it might improve something more but it’s small

Pretty much every reviewer on Earth compared them with the 6XX, noting how close they sound when you take the foam out (but also how close they sound with the foam in).

Hazi59 · February 14, 2020, 4:30pm

I think that has a lot to do with soundstage widening a touch without the foams. Can’t really measure something like that, but it is very audible.

I received my XLR interconnects today. The next step towards a balanced system. Next up- balanced preamp!

Ohmboy · February 14, 2020, 5:21pm

Those Audioquest evergreen phonos are sweet too

flotsammy · February 14, 2020, 5:23pm

They are really nice, short and supple. Not crazy expensive either! That is also a Forest coaxial cable.

Hazi59 · February 14, 2020, 5:37pm

Those are really the only affordable audioquest cables. I have a pair of evergreen rca cables myself.

Ohmboy · February 14, 2020, 5:43pm

Me too …

I do actually own a pair of Red Rivers that I use between my phono stage and preamp. It is a kind of long run and I was considering their additional shielding against EMI since they passed through the wall along with some power cords. I got them nicely discounted since I have bought a lot from the store.
